Suspended Ceiling Insulation

Installing ROCKWOOL suspended ceiling insulation is relatively straightforward – whether you have a wooden or metal frame. 

Insulation rolls  can be placed in the suspended frame and quickly rolled out across the large area in one go. Where possible, it’s easiest to do this before the suspended ceiling finishing layer is put in place. 

The same is true when installing slabs. These can be cut to specific sizes, so they fit the frame well. 

Key tips:

• Consider lights and ventilation – Use a standard cutting knife to make adjustments in the insulation for light and ventilation spots. 
• Measure the ceiling – The surface area of the ceiling provides the best indication of how much insulation material is required. 
• Insulate before applying a finishing layer – When applying a board finish to the underside of a suspended ceiling, place the insulation before mounting this in place for easier access.

All ROCKWOOL products are recyclable, whether you’re installing a suspended acoustic ceiling to reduce noise transfer, or your priority is reducing energy consumption.  

Our slabs, roll and panels are all made from natural stone wool and designed to last the lifetime of any building.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide life-cycle-assessments, covering the manufacturing process as well as upstream impacts including the extraction and transport of the raw materials, and the downstream impacts such as product transport, maintenance, and disposal options at end-of-life. 

An EPD can be used as inputs to design tools to achieve a required sustainability performance for a building and we provide EPDs for all of the stone wool insulation products manufactured in the UK. 

To request an EPD for suspended ceiling insulation, please contact technical.solutions@rockwool.com

Suspended ceiling insulation also improves thermal comfort and airtightness, reducing energy consumption to heat a property, while lowering the impact of external noise pollution on the occupants.
